If you're one of the former, keep in mind that some prep work is involved. While many citizens of the world can visit the Andean nation without much more than an up-to-date passport, citizens of more than a few countries will require a visa to visit Peru.
To ease your mind and your travels, we’ve gathered some of the top questions regarding Peru visa requirements and visitor permits.
Travelers from North America, South America (with the exception of Venezuela), the European Union and Oceania can visit Peru visa-free, as can a few other select countries, including South Africa. Even quite a few citizens from South American countries can enter Peru just by showing their national identity documents.

Tourists can stay in Peru for a maximum of 183 days in one calendar year. For permits less than 183 days, you can visit an immigration office in any major Peruvian city to request an extension. The request must come before the visitor permit expires. Only tourist visas under 183 days will be considered.
If you require a visa to visit Peru, you can apply for a Tourist Visa or a Business Visa. To apply, visit a Peruvian consulate or embassy in your country well in advance of your planned trip. Locate the nearest office here.
